Adding to the MAT grads from the UofA, two small districts in the area are possibly closing next year, and many of those teachers are trying to find jobs also. Pretty much the only way to get in if you're not math is to sign up to sub and tell EVERYONE that you'd love to take a long term sub position. Then you'll have an in for the next year if a position comes open.
